Get Fucked

The cobbles of Coronation Street have graced (hmm) our TV sets for many years, many more before I was born. The set was recently reconstructed down the road at Media City in Salford and the current site stands out of use in preparation for tours commencing April 2014 (Honest). Me and Tweek had been out and about in Manchester hitting a couple of new rooftops and we found ourselves a short walk from here, spontaneously we decided we would spend the night creeping around here, as you do.

Access was more straightforward than we'd have imagined, using a bit of initiative we found ourselves on the wrong side of the wall and off we went scurrying around. At one point the security guard patrolled no less than 5 metres away, meaning we had to hit the deck in order not to be seen, how we remained unseen is anyone's guess but it surely injected that buzz we all crave when we're somewhere we shouldn't be. Unfortunately, we didn't bump into Roy for a bacon sandwich...

Images aren't the best, shot on a gorillapod and hastily so...

Security, for the second time, walked through the below shot, to my amazement.
